Abstract

Abstract Purpose – The single publication h index has been introduced by Schubert as the h index calculated from the list of citing publications of one single publication. This paper aims to look at the calculation of the single publication h index and related performance measures. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper a web application is presented where the single publication h index and related performance measures (the single publication m index, h2 lower, h2 centre, and h2 upper) can be automatically calculated for any publication indexed by Google Scholar. Findings – The use of the application is demonstrated by means of the citation performance of two publications. Originality/value – To the authors' knowledge this web application is the first instrument to automatically calculate the single publication h index and related performance measures based on Google Scholar data. This is a new service especially from the perspective of the related performance measures.
